Finland’s gross domestic product expanded by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the fourth quarter of 2025, lower than the preliminary estimate of 0.6%, but rebounding from a downwardly revised 0.1% contraction in the previous quarter.
This marked the first growth since the third quarter of 2024, driven by increased household expenditure (0.4% vs 0.3% in Q3) and gross fixed capital formation (1.7% vs 0%).
On the other hand, government spending declined by 1.4%, reversing a 1% rise in the prior period.
Net external demand also contributed negatively to the GDP, as exports (-4.1% vs 3.1%) dropped more than imports (-1.7% vs 2.9%).
On a yearly basis, the economy grew by 0.1% in Q4, recovering from a downwardly revised 0.1% decline in the preceding quarter.
